国家环境保护局已作出决定,本世纪末在全国范围内停止使用含铅汽油,以无铅汽油取而代之。中国石化总公司将于1998年底停止生产含铅汽油。不久前,北京和广州在全国率先规定,不准供应、销售和使用含铅汽油。这是政府为减少环境污染而推出的一项重大环保举措。 The National Environmental Protection Agency has decided to stop using leaded gasoline nationwide and replace it with unleaded gasoline at the end of this century. China Petrochemical Corporation will stop producing leaded gasoline at the end of 1998. Not long ago, Beijing and Guangzhou were the first countries in the world to prohibit the supply, sale, and use of leaded gasoline. This is a major environmental initiative launched by the government to reduce environmental pollution.
